Message Me!Ever wondered if simply attending church and following rituals is enough to truly know Jesus? Join me, BR Maul, as I recount my personal spiritual journey, beginning with my upbringing in the Lutheran church where I believed that church rituals and infant baptism were sufficient for being a Christian. We dissect 1 John 2:3-6 to understand how knowing and keeping Jesus' commandments is the true reflection of our relationship with God. I'll share how my perspective on a biblical relationship with Jesus evolved over time, the misconceptions I faced, and the importance of aligning our lives with God's Word for true transformation.By examining verses 3 and 4, we highlight the essential nature of loving God and our neighbors, breaking down the Bible's definition of love in contrast to Hollywood's portrayal. Through a personal anecdote about differing perceptions of a gym teacher, I illustrate how structure and adherence to rules can provide comfort. We also discuss how familial and marital relationships shape who we are, drawing parallels to our relationship with Jesus Christ. Consistently engaging with God's Word, prayer, worship, and fellowship with believers leads to spiritual growth and sanctification, helping us live God's way in an often ungodly world. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional religious beliefs and invites a deeper, more genuine connection with Christ.Support the showAsk this Bible teacher a question!  Just Click HERE Be a Sponsor!  Support our ministry HERE!

Message Me!Light and darkness cannot coexist in the same spot. Where there is darkness, there is no light.  Even though darkness may surround light, darkness is unable to exist where the light shines. Sin is like darkness. Where sin is, the light of God is not! This makes it impossible for a follower of Christ to walk in light and in darkness at the same time. Support the showAsk this Bible teacher a question!  Just Click HERE Be a Sponsor!  Support our ministry HERE!

Message Me!How is your relationship with the One true God? Are you struggling to hear the voice of your Savior? Can you see what your Lord's will is for you and how much He loves you? Many people who claim they are following Jesus also say that Jesus is a distant God, or seems to want little or nothing to do with them. This saddens me! The apostle John tells us how well he knew Jesus. Jesus wants to be heard, seen, and touched because He is a personable God. Jesus isn't physically standing right next to us, but someday He will be. Until that day comes our Lord and Savior has made Himself available through His word and through the body of Christ.Support the showAsk this Bible teacher a question!  Just Click HERE Be a Sponsor!  Support our ministry HERE!

Message Me!Jesus told ALL of His disciples to go to all nations and make disciples. This can be intimidating to some people, but it doesn't have to be that way. The lady at the well, a Samaritan who probably didn’t have as much knowledge of the coming Messiah as the Pharisees had, brought many people to Christ by simply sharing her testimony!  "He told me all that I ever did." Because of the Samaritan woman's belief, many Samaritans were saved.Support the showAsk this Bible teacher a question!  Just Click HERE Be a Sponsor!  Support our ministry HERE!

Message Me! At the end of his letter, James reminds his brothers and sisters in Christ to come together and pray for one another. We are a family and it's important we watch each other's back. There is no better way to do this than to be intentional in our prayer life. The world, which is ruled by Satan, is out to get us.  Now, more then ever, we need to stick together and pray together!Support the showAsk this Bible teacher a question!  Just Click HERE Be a Sponsor!  Support our ministry HERE!

Message Me! Throughout history there have been rich people who are not content with just their wealth.  They crave power! They need power! And they will stop at nothing to get it.  These are rich oppressors. They see themselves as elite humans, even demigods.

Message Me! Are you a planner?  Do you have next week all planned? Maybe you even have next month planned.  Did you know that born again followers of Christ are not to plan their time the way they used to before they were saved?  Why? Because Jesus paid a debt that no one is able to pay back.  Jesus purchased your eternal soul with His blood, and He already has plans for you.  Seek Him and you will find out those plans.Support the showAsk this Bible teacher a question!  Just Click HERE Be a Sponsor!  Support our ministry HERE!

Message Me!Christians are God's children. Like all children we can forget what our Heavenly Father has taught us and quickly slide back into our old, selfish ways.

Message Me!Our tongue is a powerful tool, but also a powerful weapon. We have the ability to build people up or tear them down by merely opening our mouths and speaking.

Message Me!Faith isn't something in a person's mind that they think about on Sundays and holidays. Faith comes from the heart and stays in the heart. Faith is lived out in a believer's life each and every day. A child of God will be identified by their works, not their words.

Message Me!In the book of James we are told that it is not good enough to be just hearers of the word of God, but that we must be doers.

Message Me!James uses an important word when reminding the children of God that all good gifts come from our holy Father in heaven.

Message Me!The apostle James reminds his brothers and sisters in faith to be mindful of temptation and to understand how it can become sin. Temptation itself is not a sin.
